Program details
Overview
The University Transfer Applied Mathematics Certificate allows you to complete first-year applied mathematics at VCC and transfer directly into second-year degree programs at Simon Fraser University (SFU). For the assured pathways to SFU, the maximum time for completion is 16 months. For the competitive admission to SFU, the maximum time for completion is 3 years.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This University Transfer certificate, designed to transfer into SFU, requires Grade 12 graduation, or equivalent. English is met through English 12 with a minimum 'C+' grade, or through VCC's English Language Proficiency standard at an equivalent English 12 'C+' level; the programme page names no specific IELTS, TOEFL or other standardized score, so applicants should confirm current test routes with VCC's own English Language Proficiency requirements. Mathematics is met through Pre-Calculus 12 at a minimum 'B', or equivalent. Individual courses within the certificate carry their own prerequisites. Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents, at least 16 years old or a secondary-school graduate, and submit official transcripts and any other required documents; complete, eligible applications are offered seats in the order they are finished.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
